Imo.im is like Meebo and other chat webapps: it can log you into Skype, Gchat, AIM, and other services, all at once. But with its new look, mobile apps, and Chrome desktop notifications, it may be the slickest web chat client around.

Just like Gmail's desktop notifications, Imo can ping Chrome users about their incoming chats so they have the same kind of presence as if using a standard IM client like Pidgin or Adium. The service stands alone, too, in letting you record 30-second voice clips and send them to IM users with an instant download link.
